Microgrid Energy Management With Flexibility Constraints: A Data-Driven Solution Method, Okan Ciftci
Microgrid Energy Management With Flexibility Constraints: A Data-Driven Solution Method, Okan Ciftci
LSU Master's Theses
Microgrid energy management is a challenging and important problem in modern power systems. Several deterministic and stochastic models have been proposed in the literature for the microgrid energy management problem. However, more accurate models are required to enhance flexibility of the microgrids when accounting for renewable energy and load uncertainties. This thesis proposes key contributions to solve the energy management problem for smart building (or small-scale microgrid). In Chapter 3, a deterministic energy management model is presented taking into account system flexibility requirements. Energy storage systems are deployed to enhance the grid flexibility and ramping capability. The objective function of …
Network Performance Analysis Using Cisco Virl, Charitra Maharjan
Network Performance Analysis Using Cisco Virl, Charitra Maharjan
LSU Master's Theses
This thesis provides a detailed analysis of the effects of TCP and UDP traffic over a LAN and WAN medium. In addition, it also analyses some real time applications like audio, video and web browsing that is affected by TCP traffic while sharing a bottleneck node and/or link resources. As network industry is growing continuously, the network administrator should be aware of TCP and UDP traffic that is traversing through their network. The analysis and monitoring of the traffic is crucial as it directly affects the performance of the network. Finding a cause for the poor performance of the network …
Quantitative Estimation Of Causality And Predictive Modeling For Precipitation Observation Sites And River Gage Sensors, Tri Vu Nguyen
Quantitative Estimation Of Causality And Predictive Modeling For Precipitation Observation Sites And River Gage Sensors, Tri Vu Nguyen
LSU Master's Theses
This project seeks to investigate two questions: correlations from precipitation measurement sensors to river gage sensors, and predictive modeling of peak river gage heights during precipitation events. First, if correlations can be quantified, then a predictive model can be explored to predict peak water levels at river gage sensors, in response to precipitation inputs. Answering both research questions can provide early flood detection benefits and provide quantitative time assessments for flood risks. An extensive data-driven study was conducted across a geographical area of the U.S, spanning the time period 2008-2016 to identify river gage sensors that are closely correlated to …
Improved Subset Generation For The Mu-Decoder, Utsav Agarwal
Improved Subset Generation For The Mu-Decoder, Utsav Agarwal
LSU Master's Theses
The MU-Decoder is a hardware subset generator that finds use in partial reconfiguration of FPGAs and in numerous other applications. It is capable of generating a set S of subsets of a large set Z_n with n elements. If the subsets in S satisfy the “isomorphic totally- ordered property”, then the MU-Decoder works very efficiently to produce a set of u subsets in O(log n) time and Θ(n √u log n) gate cost. In contrast, a vain approach requires Θ(un) gate cost. We show that this low cost for the MU-Decoder can be achieved without the isomorphism constraint, thereby allowing …

Aperiodic Multilayer Graphene Based Tunable And Switchable Thermal Emitter At Mid-Infrared Frequencies, Safura Sharifi
LSU Master's Theses
Over the past few decades, there have been tremendous innovations in electronics and photonics. The development of these ultra-fast growing technologies mostly relies on fundamental understanding of novel materials with unique properties as well as new designs of device architectures with more diverse and better functionalities. In this regard, the promising approach for next-generation nanoscale electronics and photonics is to exploit the extraordinary characteristics of novel nanomaterials. There has been an explosion of interest in graphene for photonic applications as it provides a degree of freedom to manipulate electromagnetic waves. In this thesis, to tailor the broadband blackbody radiation, new …
Estimation Of Rfid Tag Population Size By Gaussian Estimator, Md Mahmudul Hasan
Estimation Of Rfid Tag Population Size By Gaussian Estimator, Md Mahmudul Hasan
LSU Master's Theses
Radio Frequency IDenti cation (RFID) systems are prevalent in all sorts of daily life endeavors. In this thesis we propose a new method to estimate RFID tag population size. We have named our algorithm "Gaussian Estimation of RFID Tags,"namely, GERT. We present GERT under both {0,1} and {0,1,e} channel models, and in both cases the estimator we use is a well justi ed Gaussian random variable for large enough frame size based on Central Limit Theorem for triangular arrays. The most prominent feature of GERT is the quality with which it estimates a tag population size. We support all the …

Photo-Effects On Current Transport In Back-Gate Graphene Field-Effect Transistor, Xinlu Chen
LSU Master's Theses
Graphene, which has attracted wide attention because of its two-dimensional structure and high carrier mobility, is a promising candidate for potential application in optics and electronics. In this dissertation, the photonic effects on current transport in back-gate graphene field-effect transistor is investigated. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on metal provides a promising way for large area, controllability and high quality graphene film. The transfer and back-gate transistor fabrication processes are proposed in this dissertation. The theoretical analysis of photodetector based on back-gate graphene field-effect transistor has been done. It is shown that the photo-electronic current consists of current contributions from photovoltaic, …
Experimental Study Of Frequency Oscillations In Islanded Power System, Kevin Daniel Wellman
Experimental Study Of Frequency Oscillations In Islanded Power System, Kevin Daniel Wellman
LSU Master's Theses
Since the introduction of power electronics to the grid, the power system has quickly changed. Fault detection and removal is performed more accurately and at quicker response time, and non-inertia driven loads have been added. This means stability must continue to be a main topic of concern to maintain a stable synchronized grid. In this thesis a lab was designed, constructed, and tested for the purpose of studying transient stability in power systems. Many different options were considered and researched, but the focus of this paper is to describe the options chosen. The lab must be safe to operate and …
